RESUMEN
Talent Management has emerged in contemporary companies as a fundamental element to generate value. Having an adequate human resources policy that enhances employee capabilities is vital to generate satisfactory and productive work environments. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of some of the main variables involved in talent management, and how they affect the financial profitability of the company. Specifically, we focus on analyzing the size of the workforce of companies that carry out talent management actions, the range of aspects taken into account in the evaluation of employee performance, and employee perceptions of the company's compensation and promotion policies. On the other hand, given that Covid19 has strongly impacted the human resources area of all companies, we have introduced in the analysis the measurement of how the pandemic has affected the way of working in the different organizations studied in this article. The study has been carried out through a survey of the heads of the human resources departments of some of the largest companies in the region of Valencia, Spain. The analysis has been carried out through a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis approach, since it allows to capture the complexity of the relationships of the conditions in a human environment, obtaining equifinal solutions that lead to the expected result, the financial profitability. The main contribution of this study is to help business in making decisions in the area of Talent Management, in order to be able to continue generating profitability and value with their businesses.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 is a very high transmission disease with a variable prognosis in the general population. Patients in hemodialysis therapy are particularly vulnerable to developing an infectious disease, but the incidence and prognosis of hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 is still unclear. The main objective is to describe the experience of our dialysis unit in preventing and controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection. METHODS: Preventive structural and organizational changes were applied to all patients and health care personnel in order to limit the risk of local transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection. FINDINGS: The Nephrology department at Sant Joan Despí Moises Broggi Hospital-Consorci Sanitari Integral is a reference for two satellite hemodialysis centers caring for 156 patients. We combine our own hemodialysis maintenance program for 87 patients with hospitalized patients from peripheral hemodialysis centers. In this area, the reported incident rate of COVID-19 in these peripherical hemodialysis centers was 9.5% to 19.9% and the death rate 25% to 30.5%. In our hemodialysis program, the incidence rate was 5.7%. Three out of five required hospitalization (60%) and nobody died. DISCUSSION: Although the risk of local transmission of the disease was very high due to the increase in hemodialysis patients from peripheral centers admitted to hospital, the incidence rate of COVID-19 was very low in our own hemodialysis patients. We believe that the structural and organizational changes adopted early on and the diagnosis algorithm played an important role in minimizing the spread of the disease.
